The power of MIDI routing of the MTP AV & Midi express XT - buying guide 2025
In this video, I explore two classic MIDI devices from 1999: the MIDI Express XT and the MIDI Timepiece AV by Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU). I discuss their unique features, including their inputs and outputs, and how they can still be valuable in today's setups. I also explain the practical benefits of using these vintage interfaces, like their ability to handle various MIDI messages and how they synchronize with other devices. If you’re curious about the relevance of older gear in modern music production or just want to know more about MIDI technology, this video is for you!
Here are some key takeaways:
►Versatile Control: Both devices allow complex routing and control over multiple MIDI channels, making them ideal for layered performances.
►Real-Time Channel Mapping: You can reassign MIDI channels on the fly, adapting to various performance needs without rewiring.
►Timecode Synchronization: They can generate and sync SMPTE timecode, which is essential for coordinating audio and visual elements.
►Built to Last: Despite their age, these devices still offer compatibility with modern setups, showcasing their longevity and reliability.
